The additives of the present invention are for example applied totextiles in a dyeing or printing process, or in a finishing process. Forinstance, the additives may be applied as part of a dye formulation. Theadditives may be applied to textiles for example in an ink-jet printingprocess. The additives are for example applied as part of an aqueous dyesolution or printing paste. They may be applied in an exhaust method ordyeing by the padder dyeing method, in which the textiles areimpregnated with aqueous dye solutions, which may contain salts, and thedyes and additives are fixed, after an alkali treatment or in thepresence of alkali, if appropriate with the action of heat or by storageat room temperature for several hours. After fixing, the dyeings orprints are rinsed thoroughly with cold and hot water, if appropriatewith the addition of an agent which has a dispersing action and promotesdiffusion of the non-fixed portions.
